Gun ownership skyrocketing among women

This bodes poorly for gun control, given that nothing that middle class white women do can be illegal.

Combine this emerging demographic reality with the first-hand observation that women are often easier to train to shoot than guys (at least in my experience), and we may soon to reach a tipping point where violent crime declines even further due to the number of felons under the dirt.

Taught one to shoot, wanted to be able to shoot through a solid core door. Had to be solid because her husband had already broken in the usual flimsy interior doors.
Why yes, there was a “restraining order”.
It was his house, he knew how to make the phone not work. Pre cell phone, yeah, I’m old.
Learned to shoot that .357 Mag in under a box of FMG’s.
Penetration baby.
Oh, her violent rapist husband?
He dead.

This whole issue reminds me of Governor Ann “Ma” Richards of Texas back in 1996. When the TX Legislature began considering a Concealed Weapons permit, Ann chimed in that she would veto the bill the minute it arrived on her desk.

Well, that was enough for the (ahem) courageous lawmakers to ditch the bill without challenging the Governor.

However, it WAS NOT ENOUGH to stop about 100 women from protesting at the Governor’s Mansion with signs that said things like “Did you treaten the veto while surrounded by armed security guards?” and “I nee security guards like yours.”

It’s one of the four or five reasons she lost to Bush.
